Divorce(A)
19 When Jesus had finished saying these things,(B) he left Galilee and went into the region of Judea to the other side of the Jordan. 2 Large crowds followed him, and he healed them(C) there.
3 Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife(D) for any and every reason?”
4 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’[a](E) 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’[b]?(F) 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
7 “Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”(G)
8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”(H)
10 The disciples said to him, “If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry.”
11 Jesus replied, “Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given.(I) 12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”
The Little Children and Jesus(J)
13 Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them(K) and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them.
14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs(L) to such as these.”(M) 15 When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there.
The Rich and the Kingdom of God(N)
16 Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life(O)?”(P)
17 “Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”(Q)
18 “Which ones?” he inquired.
Jesus replied, “‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery,(R) you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, 19 honor your father and mother,’[c](S) and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’[d]”(T)
20 “All these I have kept,” the young man said. “What do I still lack?”
21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect,(U) go, sell your possessions and give to the poor,(V) and you will have treasure in heaven.(W) Then come, follow me.”
22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.
23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich(X) to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”
26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”(Y)
27 Peter answered him, “We have left everything to follow you!(Z) What then will there be for us?”
28 Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne,(AA) you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.(AB) 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife[e] or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.(AC) 30 But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.(AD)

Jesus undervisar om äktenskapet
19 När Jesus hade avslutat detta tal, lämnade han Galileen och gick genom landet på andra sidan Jordan till Judeens område. 2 Mycket folk följde honom, och han botade dem. 3 Några fariseer kom fram till honom och ville snärja honom och sade: "Är det tillåtet att skilja sig från sin hustru av någon anledning?" 4 Han svarade: "Har ni inte läst att Skaparen från begynnelsen gjorde dem till man och kvinna[a] 5 och sade: Därför skall en man lämna sin far och mor och hålla sig till sin hustru, och de två skall vara ett kött?[b] 6 Så är de inte längre två utan ett kött. Vad Gud har fogat samman skall människan inte skilja åt." 7 De sade till honom: "Varför har då Mose befallt att mannen skall ge hustrun ett skilsmässobrev[c] och skicka bort henne?" 8 Han svarade: "Därför att era hjärtan är så hårda tillät Mose er att skiljas från era hustrur, men från början var det inte så. 9 Jag säger er: Den som skiljer sig från sin hustru av något annat skäl än otukt och gifter sig med en annan, han begår äktenskapsbrott." 10 Hans lärjungar sade till honom: "Om det är så med mannens ställning till hustrun, då är det ingen fördel med att gifta sig." 11 Han svarade dem: "Inte alla förstår det ordet utan endast de som har fått den gåvan. 12 Det finns de som inte kan gifta sig, därför att de är födda sådana, och de som inte kan det, därför att människor gjort dem sådana. Och det finns andra som för himmelrikets skull inte gifter sig. Den som kan förstå detta, må ta det till sig."
Jesus och barnen
13 Sedan bar man fram barn till Jesus, för att han skulle lägga händerna på dem och be. Men lärjungarna visade bort dem. 14 Då sade Jesus: "Låt barnen komma till mig och hindra dem inte! Ty himmelriket tillhör sådana." 15 Och han lade händerna på dem och gick sedan därifrån.
Jesus och den rike unge mannen
16 En man kom fram till Jesus och frågade: "Mästare, vad skall jag göra för gott för att få evigt liv?" 17 Jesus sade till honom: "Varför frågar du mig om det goda? En är den Gode, och vill du gå in i livet, så håll buden." 18 Han frågade honom: "Vilka?" Jesus svarade: "Du skall inte mörda, Du skall inte begå äktenskapsbrott, Du skall inte stjäla, Du skall inte vittna falskt, [d] 19 Hedra din far och mor och Du skall älska din nästa som dig själv." 20 Då sade den unge mannen till Jesus: "Allt detta har jag hållit. Vad är det mer som fattas?" 21 Jesus svarade: "Vill du vara fullkomlig, gå och sälj vad du äger och ge åt de fattiga. Då skall du få en skatt i himlen. Och kom sedan och följ mig." 22 När den unge mannen hörde detta, gick han bedrövad sin väg, ty han ägde mycket.
23 Jesus sade till sina lärjungar: "Amen säger jag er: det är svårt för en rik att komma in i himmelriket. 24 Ja, jag säger er: det är lättare för en kamel att komma igenom ett synålsöga än för en rik att komma in i Guds rike." 25 När lärjungarna hörde det, blev de mycket förskräckta och sade: "Vem kan då bli frälst?" 26 Jesus såg på dem och sade: "För människor är det omöjligt, men för Gud är allting möjligt." 27 Då tog Petrus till orda: "Se,vi har lämnat allt och följt dig. Vad skall vi få för det?" 28 Jesus sade till dem: "Amen säger jag er: Vid pånyttfödelsen, när Människosonen sätter sig på sin härlighets tron, då skall också ni som har följt mig sitta på tolv troner och döma Israels tolv stammar. 29 Och var och en som för mitt namns skull har lämnat hus eller bröder eller systrar eller far eller mor eller barn eller åkrar, han kommer att få hundrafalt igen och skall ärva evigt liv. 30 Men många som är de första skall bli de sista, och många som är de sista skall bli de första.

Marriage and Divorce
19 When Jesus had finished saying these things, he left Galilee and went to the region of Judea beyond the Jordan. 2 Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there. 3 Some Pharisees came in order to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
4 He answered, “Haven’t you read that from the beginning their Maker ‘made them male and female,’[a] 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will be one flesh’?[b] 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, man must not separate.”
7 They asked him, “Then why did Moses command a man to give her a certificate of divorce and send her away?”
8 Jesus said to them, “Because of your hard hearts, Moses permitted you to divorce your wives, but it was not that way from the beginning. 9 I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except on the grounds of her sexual immorality, and marries another woman is committing adultery.”[c]
10 His disciples said to him, “If this is the relationship of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.”
11 But he said to them, “Not everyone can accept this saying, but only those to whom it has been given. 12 For example, there are eunuchs who were born that way, and others who were castrated by people, and others who decided to remain unmarried because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who is able to accept this should accept it.”
Jesus Loves Little Children
13 Then some people brought little children to Jesus to have him place his hands on them and pray. But the disciples rebuked them. 14 Then Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, because the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”[d] 15 After he placed his hands on them, he left that place.
The Rich Young Ruler
16 There was a man who came to him and said, “Teacher, what good thing should I do that I may have eternal life?”
17 Jesus said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? Only one is good. But if you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”
18 “Which ones?” the man asked him.
Jesus said, “‘You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not give false testimony. 19 Honor your father and mother.’ And, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’”[e]
20 The young man said to him, “I have kept all these. What am I still lacking?”
21 Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” 22 But when the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had many possessions. 23 Jesus said to his disciples, “Amen I tell you: It will be very hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you: It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and said, “Who then can be saved?”
26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27 Then Peter answered, “Look, we have left everything and followed you! What then will we have?”
28 Jesus said to them, “Amen I tell you: In the renewal, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 Everyone who has left homes or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields, because of my name, will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. 30 Many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.”

King James Version
19 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;
2 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
13 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
